EXCERPTS FROM COMMITTEE MEETING: JANUARY 2010
Thu 21-Jan-2010 |
Meeting cancelled due to bad weather.
20 YEARS AGO:
Excerpts from Committee Meeting – January 1990.
• The Team Harriers fishing club (based on The Harriers public house) applied for and were granted affiliation. This was a good club with many keen anglers but, sadly, now defunct.
• The lease on the River Avon at Foxes Wood cancelled; due to difficult access and minimal use by members.
• An increase in membership reported for the second consecutive year, with an additional 33 seniors and 52 juniors.
• Three new club bailiffs have been appointed.
• The Christmas match was a 300 peg sell-out (again). Jim Cook from Bristol won with 27 lbs. of bream from Newbridge.
• The Silstar 1000 match attracted 242 competitors. The previous year’s winner – Arthur Marshall from Stroud – won again with 29 lbs. from Rotork.
• The first fund raising tackle auction arranged for 18 January at Frys. (The old-uns will recall the auctions with fond memories; packed audiences, hundreds of lots, hard work and a great time had by all with loads of dosh in the bank for fishery development.)
40 YEARS AGO:
Excerpts from Committee Meeting – January 1970.
• An offer has been made for the lease on two ponds at Westbury, Wiltshire.
• Our interest has been registered with the controlling body for any available waters at the new Cotswold Water Park.
• The “Bathampton Angler” publication discontinued due to losses being made.
• Mechanical means of removing silt form Huntstrete Lake ruled out due to excessive cost. Enquiries about chemicals to be made.
• Horse riders ruining the towpath on the canal.
• Minimum keepnet sizes introduced by the River Authority.
